What load_source does on Graph Tool Call

AI agents call load_source to retrieve information from Graph Tool Call without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why load_source needs a policy

Without a description, confidence is reduced. The name 'load_source' most naturally suggests a read operation (loading/retrieving data from a source) rather than write, execute, or destructive actions. In the context of a graph-tool-call server that retrieves workflows and tool schemas, loading a source likely means fetching or querying configuration, schema, or graph data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'load_source' suggests retrieving or loading data from a source, which aligns with Read operations (query, fetch, get). However, the description is empty, making it difficult to assess whether it retrieves data, modifies it, or executes operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access load_source gives an agent:

How to control load_source

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Graph Tool Call, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for load_source:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "load_source": {}
  }
}

load_source is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Graph Tool Call — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about load_source

What does the load_source tool do? +

load_source. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Graph Tool Call MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on load_source? +

Register the Graph Tool Call MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for load_source: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Graph Tool Call. Nothing to install.

What risk level is load_source? +

load_source is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit load_source? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the load_source rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block load_source completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for load_source. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides load_source? +

load_source is provided by the Graph Tool Call MCP server (sonaiengine/graph-tool-call). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Graph Tool Call tool call.

Start from Graph Tool Call, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
